The United Nations has issued a fresh warning over the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in Sudan, calling on the international community to act urgently to prevent further loss of lives.
Speaking before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, described the situation around the city of El-Obeid as a "human rights catastrophe." He warned that civilians have endured months of siege-like conditions, with limited access to clean water, food, healthcare, and other essential services.
The UN reported that ongoing fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes. Human rights monitors have also documented cases of torture, sexual violence, unlawful killings, and attacks on civilians.
The organization urged all parties involved in the conflict to protect civilians, allow unrestricted humanitarian access, and work towards a peaceful resolution to end the crisis.
